Chapter 25Can't take this anymore!She sniffled more tears "I won't cry anymore, Alexandria, you are brave, you are strong," she said wiping her eye clean but they betrayed her, more tears poured down like the tear tap in her eyes socket were let loose."Momma, it hurts, it hurts badly here" she cried pointing her finger to her chest. Alex didn't know how and neither do I but she soon fell asleep. The girls tip-toed into the room later and tried so hard not to wake her.Rachel, used a warm clean towel to wipe her wounds carefully, Alex flinched in her sleep as Rachel wiped it, this was the least they could do, they all had been through this at one time or the other, no one could save anyone, they were all thriving to survive, but unlike her, they had no hope of anyone coming to get them.Alex woke up the next day to meet her menstrual cramp which always hurt like crazy, coupled with the pains from yesterday, Alex couldn't even move. The girls promised to contribute from their pay
Chapter 26He came back and is gone.Fang cityRegal sat, behind a table trying to study, Wilson was sitting on the chair right across him. "Uncle It's been two years since I started training when would I get to do the real stuff", Regal asked, " what real stuff, prince?" Wilson asked as he dropped the book he was reading to give Regal his full attention. "Uncle, I know studying is necessary, but we both know that's not all it takes to defend the empire and the people, we rarely get to practice combat and wielding of power, you always say am not yet ready and that it could be dangerous to me if I attempt it". "Uncle am eighteen, if am not ready then when will I be? Teens vampires my age are already wielding great power and skills how much more me, who has royal blood boiling in my veins" Regal asked.Wilson stood up and walked towards Regal chair "That's the issue Regal, you are royalty, with royal blood, you have greater powers and strength in you than you think, and if you can't c
Chapter 27He came, he came Back!"Good evening sir, how may I help you," Mitchell said as she turned open the door knob to meet a mid-age handsome man staring at her, "yes I guess, can I meet Greta, is she in?" The man asked. "And who might you be?" Mitchell asked, "tell her it's Ben" He answered. "Ben!!! As in Ben, like Alexandria's guardian? That Ben?" Mitchell screamed. Ben was shocked he just stared at her awkwardly " I guess?" He finally replied, "ops am sorry sir," Mitchell said as she covered her mouth and quickly composed herself. "Please come in sir," she said as she opened the door wider to let Ben in.Ben walked in as Mitchell closed the door behind him, "please make yourself comfortable" Mitchell said gesturing to the chair which was neatly dressed compared to the last time he came. "I will go up and call her," Mitchell said as she ran up the stairs excitedly.But guess where she went next? Yeah, your guess is as good as mine, she ran to the girls' room. "Guess
Chapter 28Can't leave them behind.Three heads peeped from the door right across the stairs eavesdropping on the conversation going on downstairs between Ben and Greta. Now don't tell me how bad it is to eavesdrop on adults' conversation because someone had to put this witch in her position."What do you mean she's no longer here?" Ben asked almost yelling, "I meant what you heard, she's no longer here, she sneaked away a few months ago after telling us she was going to come find you," Greta said without any emotion."She said she was going to come find me and you just let her go like that!" Ben yelled. "Don't yell at me Ben, you don't know how I put up with that girl, she is such a handful. As you heard, she 'sneaked' away, I wasn't there when she did that!" Greta fired back."What! Alex is such a well-behaved kid, she couldn't have given you trouble, why? I mean, how could she just leave?" Ben questioned "So you think! She such a good girl, blah blah blah, She probably team
LeavingChapter 29The girls walked to the door, they were almost at the door when they heard Ben's voice, "Hold on girls" Ben said, the girls turned to face him.'Hell!' Ben thought, 'how bad could Greta have treated them or..., It couldn't have been Alex's fault! She was a well-behaved girl". Though Ben had known Alex for only a short time he felt like she was someone he could vouch for. 'she is a well-behaved girl, even when children her age would have cried, thrown a tantrum when things weren't going their way, she was strong and took it all in, she didn't leave like Greta said, that only means Greta lied to cover up something.' I can't risk leaving her here another day, if she asked for these girls to come with her, then they are probably very close friends, if this is the condition then it's fine with me.' This thought ran through Ben's mind, and in a matter of seconds, he had reached his conclusion."Yeah?" Rachel answered on their behalf, "how about you girls come wit
Smiles that should never go away.chapter 31It was a long drive from Longhill back to holandis where Ben's house was, the girls slept up, mid-way in the journey. After they left Greta's place, they all entered the car and remained very quiet like they were afraid that Ben would change his mind and just send them back.Ben tried raising a conversation to help them relax, but it looks like he wasn't so good at easing people's tension by talking or chatting because the girls remained quietly composed, giving the necessary answers to his questions and then going back mute.Frustrated, Ben just let them be and quietly concentrated on his driving. They entered holandis the next day in the mid-morning Ben drove for about two hours before he drove into an estate and pulled up at the front of his house_ a classic storey building. He came down and opened the gate before driving in.The house was fenced, the front yard was lined with well-trimmed carpet grass and at one side an unkem
Out with the Girls.Ben was sure he was keeping these girls, it took about an hour before the girls came down the stairs looking all clean. Ben could hear the sound of their footstep as they walked together coming down the stair, okay now he had to admit it, he would have to get used to hearing more lousy footsteps, more chatting and who knows what more.Ben lifted his eyes from his laptop to watch four beautiful girls walk past him, each greeting him as they took a sit at the dining table. "Hi Ben" they greeted, "hi girls" he replied after they were all seated. "So what's for breakfast?" Alex asked while the three other girls just sat quietly, it was going to take a little more time before they get used to him, and Ben was ready to give them that time to get to know him."Alex, do you know what time it is?" Ben asked, Alex looked at the clock to check the time but Ben didn't even wait to hear the response, "I don't think you should be asking for breakfast any
All inThe girls woke up quite early today, but Ben beat them to it again. It's been about three weeks since they came here, usually, they had their meals out, or made orders for them to be delivered to them at home, but today of all days, Ben decided to cook. Looks like he woke up at the best side of the bed, or not!"Do you even sleep?" Alex mumbled rubbing sleep from her eyes as she walked past Ben who was mixing pancake batter on the dining table"Is that your way of saying good morning?" Ben asked with a feing frown. "Am sorry, good morning Ben" Alex apologized and greeted. "Good Alex said patting her head while taking the batter back into the kitchen."You woke up earlier today, it's just a few minutes past eight, have you brushed your teeth," Ben asked, "yep, why do you ask, does my breath stink?" Alex asked smelling her breath. "Nope, I just thought you would have washed the sleep from your eyes too while washing your face after brushing your teeth, but it looks li
